Hi Goobi,

We spray painted the lamp already. It actually looks quite nice now. Looks newer and cleanere a bit. But the vintage look also quite nice la.

Still it should be quite unique. I think end of November once everything is more finished up then I bring you to check it out.

Kitchen sink and all sink actually we bought liao. Go to Jalan Besar area near the Sungei Road market. A lot of basins there.

Wah....bro never read ur thread for so long... Today is really an eye opener for me... So many cool stuff.... I like the red lamp too... I suggest keep the retro old concept don't need to buff or shine.... It will blend in and make it unique in the house...

When visiting ur house? Can go see see.... Anyway have u bought kitchen sink... My in-law need to buy kitchen sink soon... Still looking around for deep inner sink ...

This one I'm sure my ID will do up properly for me. But in any case, we're on the top floor, so if anything our neighbours downstairs will kena, not us also

The flooring and paint are almost done. Just left carpentry which should be done up by end of next week.

I think my place looks a little better in real life, but here are some teaser pictures before carpentry goes up

Long distressed wood-looking ceramic tiles make the hall appear longer than it is

Sneak peek of the Peranakan tiles nicely sandwiched between the 2 different colours of the entryway.

Daylight brings out the texture and grain of the faux wood plank tiles

Can't wait for the carpentry and the final touch up of the work done. Scheduled for completion by end of November.

Furniture will all come in probably first week of December. Getting pretty excited

Hi timothy27,

Hi Lancelot,

I'm using Invor laminates for the bedroom. They did give us a matching skirting which is pretty nice.

But the picture you see if for the hall - used a faux wooden plank tile from one of the Jalan Besar shops.

Can't quite remember. Are you using Invor laminates too?

Hi folks,

Will be needing a mover to transport my teak TV console and side table from Telok Kurau to my place at Bukit Merah,

Should need just a small lorry with 2 people to carry. Anyone got cheap and good movers to recommend?

Will probably need this next week....

Looks like no one knows any movers

Anyway, carpentry is going on very well. Am very pleased with how things are progressing.

Must say the kitchen is taking shape, and the master bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and master toilet are looking nicer and nicer.

Promise I will post more pics when everything is up. Think will be in Home & Decor or some magazines once everything is done! Hahaha

is a good sign when u are so happy and confidence of the progress of the renovation even though it is not completely done yet

it will be so nice if every home owner hv this kind of positive spirit and vibe when they do their renovation keep it up

Hi rayfox, can see everything taking shape liao. All the colours and materials I chose with my ID all blend it quite well, so I'm quite happy la.

I must say it's also my ID who has really helped make the place nice. Really a big difference from when we first got the keys.

His space planning is super super good. I will share his name and contact once everything is completed

What a frantic couple of days! Everything is taking shape, but a little too slowly I think.

ID says we handover will be end of next week, but am not sure everything will be done by then.

There's a lot of deliveries due then too; and am waiting for our furniture from BKK to be sent out.

Whatever the outcome and handover date, I think the end product should look pretty decent.

ID has done a pretty good job of design and space planning. Think pictures will speak for themselves.

I promise to post more pictures of the end product soon (hopefully)

Don't worry... all will look goods once it is done... JUST remember to visit when electrical man or aircon or plumber visit the house...

Remember to listen to my AIRCON advise....

Good LUCK~!
